Senior Cloud Platform Engineer - Hybrid (Warsaw) & GCP

Cantor Fitzgerald; Warszawa; Hybrid; PLN 200,000 - 320,000; Full time

Job summary

Cantor Fitzgerald L.P. in Warsaw invites a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer to help build the cloud foundation for a fintech environment. The role is hands-on, with roughly 60% pattern design, 40% collaboration with application teams to drive adoption.

You will design reusable deployment patterns in GCP, validate them with live workloads, and guide teams on security, scalability, and cost awareness while improving our cloud strategy with practical playbooks and documented standards.

Qualifications

• Deep hands-on experience in cloud, platform, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering, including running GCP workloads in enterprise, production, or regulated environments.
• A track record of designing reusable patterns, reference architectures, or templates that multiple application teams have actually adopted — grounded in cloud-native fundamentals such as scalability, resilience, security, and cost management.
• Solid working coverage across most of the core GCP service areas: compute (Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud Functions), data and messaging (Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub), security and identity (IAM, KMS, Secret Manager, Security Command Center), observability (Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring), and networking (VPC).
• Strong infrastructure-as-code and automation skills — Terraform or OpenTofu, Helm, Ansible, Python or Bash — with Git-based delivery, CI/CD, and containers as everyday practice.
• Demonstrated use of AI/LLM tools to deliver practical engineering outcomes such as faster prototyping, better documentation, or higher-quality design reviews, with sound judgment on validating outputs, protecting confidential information, and keeping human ownership of architecture and implementation decisions.

Responsibilities

• Design reusable cloud deployment patterns, reference architectures, and cookbooks that let application teams adopt cloud-native solutions consistently.
• Work hands-on in GCP to validate those patterns, build working examples, and troubleshoot issues across the application, platform, and infrastructure layers.
• Advise application teams on cloud-native design: deployment models, scalability, resilience, security, and cost awareness.
• Contribute to the cloud foundation: landing zone evolution, guardrails, identity, networking, and observability standards.
• Partner with DevOps, infrastructure, application teams, and external providers to standardize cloud adoption practices.
• Apply AI/LLM assistants (e.g., Claude, Codex) hands-on to accelerate prototyping, design reviews, troubleshooting, and documentation, and contribute reusable prompts and checklists to shared engineering standards.
